Lutovsky's pick: Gerrit Cole. Cole made his major league debut on June 11 last year, and over his 21 starts (counting the postseason), he posted a 3.16 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 110 Ks in 128.1 innings. With a stellar minor league track record (2.84/1.15, 8.2 K/9 ratio) are armed with a high-90s fastball, Cole could emerge as a top-10 fantasy pitcher as early as this year (we rank him 27th...for now). Injury/fatigue is really the only concern, as Cole went from 132 innings in 2012 to 196.1 in '13, but obviously Cole will be highly sought after on draft day.

Bender's pick: Chris Archer. Archer went from a high-K, high-BB pitcher in '12 to decent-K, lower-BB pitcher in '13. His standard numbers were great (3.22/1.13), but the advanced stats weren't quite as sunny (4.07). Clearly, the 25-year-old Archer is a pitcher in transition, and fantasy owners probably don't know what they're getting on draft day. Bill is doubling down that Archer can continue to be a “pitcher," not a "thrower” while potentially bringing his K-rate closer to his minor league level (9.0). But keep in mind in mind that Bill drafts/picks up Edinson Volquez at least once every season, so perhaps this is more of a warning than a prediction.

Pinkerton's pick: Sonny Gray. Like Cole and Archer, Gray was another talented call-up who made a big impact last season. Unlike Archer, though, Gray saw a big uptick in strikeouts (5.9 K/9 ratio in the minors in '12, 9.07 in the minors and majors in '13), yet he managed to keep his BB-rate at a respectable level (2.99). It's a bit curious that the 24-year-old righty had such a big improvement in that area, but Brad thinks it's for real -- and he's a former professional pitcher, so I have no choice but to believe him.

Valentine's pick: Michael Wacha: Ben wasn't a huge fan of Wacha when he was called up last year, citing his relatively low K-rate (7.7) at Triple-A, but Wacha apparently won him over with a 2.74/1.04 line and 98 Ks in 95.1 innings in the majors (counting the postseason). Ben's a stubborn fellow, so fantasy owners shouldn't ignore this change of heart. Like the first three guys on this list, it's hard not to like the young righty, but he still has a lot to prove as a starter. Don't reach too far for him. He went in the 13th round of our first mock draft.

Williams' pick: Yordano Ventura: Ventura was technically called up late last year like the other guys on this list, but he only made three starts, making him the most unproven. But as our resident Dynasty Leaguer, Craig has had his eye on Ventura for awhile, so he's all-in on the 22-year-old righty. His minor league track record has been a bit spotty (3.47/1.25), but he's always been able to strike batters out (9.9 K/9 ratio). Even if he doesn't break camp with a rotation spot, chances are he'll make an impact in fantasy leagues this year.
